CHRISTIANITY UNDER ATTACK
The DaVinci Code by Ron Brown
(Robert H. Ricciardi)

Today, in the world, Christianity is under tremendous attack, however this is not new, ever since Jesus appeared on the world scene some 2000 years ago He and His Gospel have been on Satan's radar screen to obliterate completely.

The Bible warns every believer that, because the world hated Jesus it will also hate His followers (Matt. 10:22, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17. Thus, Christianity has been under attack since Jesus claimed to be God incarnate (John 10:25-33).

The DaVinci Code book is just another blatant attack on Jesus Christ and the Bible (God's word for all generations). Why is the book a best seller?, because it tries to destroy Jesus' resurrection (true purpose for His coming) and the truth of the Bible stories about Him. The book was written by Dan Brown, and he admits in that his book is pure fiction. However latter he recanted and said, all the facts in the book are true. The book is built on a conspiracy theory about the truth of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and the child named Sarah they begot, that has been hidden by the Roman Catholic Church. This theory is not new, it was promoted in the 1983 book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, who's authors just lost a big law suit against Dan Brown for plagiarism. This first book was shown to be based on fraudulent manuscripts and poor scholarship and the authors of this book admit that their book is pure fiction. Why, then, does Brown use the same material as his primary source? To make money! All he did was to embellish it more in order to make it more exciting and real.

The Secret of the Holy Grail

The Holy Grail is supposed to be the cup Jesus celebrated the last supper with, however, Brown in his book, as well as in the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, makes it into Mary Magdalene who supposedly carried the blood line (the Holy Grail) of Jesus Christ to France, and she is also made to be symbolic of the lost goddess which Christ had intended her to become. The quest for the Holy Grail (the bloodline of Jesus Christ) in The DaVinci Code ends up being the search for the tomb of Mary Magdalene's, which contains secret documents that will destroy Christianity. These documents supposedly contain the true gospel based on women being divine(goddess worship - pagan worship of women) in which Christ had intended for His church. Thus, leading the world back to more enlighten spirituality centered on the role of the women leading the world. In reality this is nothing more than the worship of Semiramis, the moon God and Goddess of fertility from ancient mystery Babylon. Brown's book is a direct attack on the Roman Catholic Church and Christianity as a whole.

The vestiges of old pagan religions are undeniable found in the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, the Lutheran Church and Episcopal Church. However to say that all this was covered up by the Roman Catholic Church which did not exist in the first century is ludicrous. There is no actual historic proof, Biblical or secular that Mary Magdalene was pregnant with Jesus child, and that she was of royal descent(through the house of Benjamin) and married to Jesus. Nor, is their any proof that the Roman Catholic Church because they feared the power of the sacred feminine (women worship -Easter goddess of fertility-spiritual fornication) as reported in Brown's book.

Pagan Religions

The halos around the women holding the child and the child are found in all pagan societies big time. The women depending on the culture was first Semiramis (Babylon), Isis (Egyptian) Ceres (Greek) and Fortuna (Roman). The halo represents the moon, for the woman is the moon goddess. The Child represents the sun god. His name was Tammuz (the son who is the husband) who represents Nimrod the virgin born son. Nimrod had married his mother Semiramis (the most beautiful women on earth), however as legend has it Ham (one of the sons of Noah-Genesis 10) his grandfather was so taken by this mighty sin, he killed Nimrod and had his body cut into 100 pieces and sent through out the kingdom to show the people that this was a sin God would not tolerate. Semiramis was so upset when that she bore another son Tammuz who she called, her husband Nimrod reborn thus the name the son who is the husband. She also claimed she was not impregnated by any man, but this was a virgin birth. Thus, reincarnation was invented (every birth a rebirth). So Semiramis was worshiped as the moon Goddess and Tammuz as her husband reborn worshiped as the sun god (for more information read the book: The Two Babylon's by Hislop).

Thus, in the Roman Catholic Church, Mary the mother of Jesus became Semiramis and Jesus the son became Tammuz (Babylon). Isis and Osirus in Egypt, Ceres and Plutos in Greece and Fortuna and Jupiter in Roman. Jesus became Tammuz so the Roman Catholic Church could easily bring pagans into the church. All other vestiges found in the Roman Catholic Church, such as, the wafer with the sun on it, miters, vestments, incense, lighting candles, colors, sacraments save, the alter, the doxology, transubstantiation - the acts of God-eating-were taken from the earlier pagan mysteries religions. So later Christianity through the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church took on things borrowed from paganism and it spread to the Lutheran and Episcopal Churches. Pagan goddess worship in the Roman Catholic Church became the Doctrine of Mariolatry with the use of the rosary. Jesus mother, Mary, became the goddess, whose titles in the Church are: The Queen of Heaven, Holy Mother, and The Mother of God. Regardless what the Roman Catholic Church officially states, she is the primary one worshipped in the Roman Catholic Church today and not Jesus. Other pagan practices in the Roman Catholic Church are evident in, praying to saints, praying for the dead, celibacy, purgatory, confession of sins to a priest, the mass, statutes, Jesus always on the cross, last rites, monks, nuns, monasteries, Canonizing saints, calling men father, etc

Matriarchal Verses Patriarchal-Which Came First

Brown in his book makes the case for the fact that religion was originally matriarchal (women centered) and was later changed to patriarchal (man centered) by the Jews first and then later by the Christians has no bases of fact to support it. In Western Civilization starting with the Babylonians to the Roman empire never has their be a hint of a matriarchal society once ruling the world. Only from modern day women feminist authors has this concept been developed. This book strongly supports the feminist movement.

Leonardo De Vinci Who Was He?

He was Born in 1452 in Vinci, near Florence, in northern Italy during the Renaissance period and reportable died near Ambroise , in southern France. He was born to common parents. However at early age his gift for drawing was well recognized and when he was only 13 years old entered Verrocchio's art studio the foremost Florentine art studio in northern Italy. From 1469 to 1482 he developed his art. From 1483 to 1499 he went to Milan to work for Glan Galeazzo, the regency of the Duchy of Milan. There he learned to be an engineer and architect. He learned to design bridges and buildings as well as artillery, catapults, power of steam engines, casting of bronze, sculpting marble, machinery and the art of war. He excelled at everything he set his mind on. He could play several musical instruments and he designed his own lute. He designed a mechanical lion. Here he painted the "Last Supper" In 1500-1519 he left Milan and travel a lot. He went to Venice 1501, then Florence, Rome 1915, and in 1516 accepted an invitation from King Frances 1 to come to France, so he left Italy never to return. He is considered a great painter and inventor. He designed and built the first bicycle and sketched the first helicopter. It is reported that he was a homo sexual which explains why he never married or bore children.

The Last Supper Painting

DA Vinci's most important work in Milan was his painting of the "Last supper" in the refectory of the Dominican convent of Sta Maria delle Grazie. This work is now little more than a ruin, because of the poor materials he had used. Dampness soon soaked into it and ruined it. The damage was irreparable. Copies were made, and they say they are close to the original in composition and color, two are in Paris, one at the Louvre. It is believed the painting represents the moment Jesus announced one of His disciples would betray Him. Each face is represented with a different expression, and a seated drama seems to be going on; surprise, anguish, lots of hand and body moment, the salt shaker is lying on its side in front of Jesus. The problem with the painting all 13 figures had to be faced forward so their faces could be seen, however the Jews, during Jesus time, at the Passover Feast always sit on the floor in a oval or round seating arrangement. The painting in no way represents a true Jewish Passover meal, during Jesus time, in regards to how its members would be seated or vessels placed on a table. There would not be a salt shaker on the table. In Da Vinci's days anti-Semitism was well established in the Roman Catholic Church.

Brown states in his book through a character named Teabing who is a so called reputable Bible historian, which further encourages the reader to accept the facts presented in the book as fact when they are not. Teabing explains, that the figure at the right hand of Jesus in not the apostle John, but Mary Magdalene his wife and pregnant with his child. The absence of a chalice in the painting indicates that DaVinci knew that Mary Magdalene was actually the Holy Grail (the bearer of Jesus' blood). This is reportable reinforced by the letter "M" that is created with the body positions of Jesus, Mary and the male reported person the apostle Peter whom she is leaning against. The apparent absence of the "Apostle John, under this interpretation, is explained by identifying John as "the Disciple Jesus loves", allegedly a code for Mary Magdalene. The book also alleges that the color scheme of their garments is exactly inverted: Jesus wears a red blouse with a royal blue cape; John/Mary wears a royal blue blouse with a red cape-symbolizing two halves of a marriage.

These so called facts in the book is just a theory and certainly not provable facts. Most art historians disputed Brown's claims. There are no historical writings from or about DaVinci that support Brown's claims on this matter.

The Books Secret Societies

Brown creates the mystery or secrets kept from the world by the Roman Catholic Church in his book based on several Roman Catholic societies trying to cover up what is hidden in Mary Magdalene's tomb. They are: "The Priory of Sion, The Knights Templar, and The
Opus Day."

According to the book, the secrets of the of the Holy Grail as kept by the Priory of Sion are as follows:

1. The Holy grail is not a physical chalice, but a women, Mary Magdalene, who carried the blood line of Christ.

2. The old French expression for the Holy Grail, San Greal, actually is a play on Sang real, which literally means "royal Blood" in old French.

3. The Grail relics consist of documents that testify to the bloodline, as well as the actual bones of Mary Magdalene.

4. The Grail relics of Mary Magdalene were hidden by the Priory of Sion in a secret crypt,
perhaps beneath Rosslyn Chapel.

5. The Roman Catholic Church has suppressed the truth about Mary Magdalene and Jesus' bloodline for 2000 years. This is principally because they fear the power of the sacred feminine, which they have demonized as Satan.

6. Mary Magdalene was of royal descent (through the Jewish household of Benjamin) and was the wife of Jesus, of the House of David. That she was a prostitute was a slander invented by the Roman Catholic Church to obscure their true relationship. At the time of the crucifixion she was pregnant. After the Crucifixion, she fled to Gaul, where she was sheltered by the Jews of Marseille. She gave birth to a daughter, named Sarah. The blood line of Jesus and Mary Magdalene became the Merovingian dynasty of France.

7. The existence of the bloodline was the secret that was contained in the documents discovered by the Crusaders after they conquered Jerusalem in 1099. The Priory of Sion and the knights of Templar were organized to keep the secret.

Leonardo DaVinci in Brown's book was a member of the Priory of Sion and knew about the secret Grail. The secret is in fact the Last Supper, in which no actual chalice is present at the table. The figure seated next to Jesus on his right is not a man, but a women, his wife Mary Magdalene. The original work, as well as later copies obscure her obvious women characteristics. Also it is reported that the Mona Lisa is actually a self-portrait by DaVinci as a women. The blending of a man with a women reflects the scared union of male and female which is implied in the holy union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Such parity between the cosmic forces of masculine and feminine has long been a deep threat to the established power of the Roman Catholic Church.

The problem with Brown's conclusions about DaVinci is they cannot be proven. Also Da Vinci is reported to of been a homo sexual This would explain why he never married, and why he like to put men's faces on the women he painted, for men were his deep love and not women. Thus the blending of a man with a women reflects his love for men and not the scared union between men and women as reported by Brown. So if John has a women's face and is leaning away from Jesus, a case could be made just as easily that it was DaVinci's way of showing his dislike for women and not a marriage union between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Most sexual men hate their mothers.

These societies I have looked into, but what is the truth about them I believe no one really knows. There is a lot of information about them available, but I couldn't not tell you what is fact and what is fiction. Josh McDowell has written a book called The DaVinci Code, A Quest For Answers, that talks about these societies. But his reporting about them you can get all of it off the internet.

Who was Mary Magdalene?

We only know what the Bible tells us about her in Luke 8:2. She was from Magdala, a town on the western bank of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus cast seven demons out of her. To Associate her with
a past or immorality, and to identify her as the sinful women of Luke 7:37, seems to be stretching, since she quickly not only gained a position of prominence, but also a position of leadership among the women who followed Jesus. Without question Jesus healed her of mental and physical infirmities, but to declare her a prostitute and an immoral person, is again coming to a position the Bible does not support. She could easily been a wealthy women who both supported Jesus and His ministry. We do know God allowed her to be the first person to see Jesus after His resurrection, thus making her an important person who Jesus considered equal to the men who followed Him as well as the women who followed Him, including Mary His mother. The New Testament strongly support women as equals to men.

The Bloodline

The theist the De Vinci Code strongly supports is, that Mary Magdalene was used by God to continue the bloodline of Jesus Christ. The problem with this theist is that no blood line could ever come through the mother. The Bible states, that life is in the blood. Modern medicine tells us that every child born receives their blood type through their father and not their mother. Jesus had no earthly father. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, so his blood came from the Holy Spirit and not Mary his earthly mother. One reason Jesus could resist from sinning is he had no human blood in him. So he was born without original sin. The original sin that all human beings inherited from Adam comes through the blood. However, for the sake of augment if the story was true and Mary Magdalene conceived a daughter. This daughters bloodline would end when she bore a child. Fore the child she bore would not have Jesus blood in it, but the blood of the man she had sex with. The blood line could not go on. Mary Magdalene would had to have conceived a son for any bloodline of Jesus to have continued on.

This goddess concept through the bloodline of Jesus Christ is a huge lie conceived by Satan to confuse man. It is easily to see, that this theory is based on facts, that medical science can easily disprove.

Jerusalem

Roman in 70 A.D. badly sacked the city and the totally destroyed the Temple along with all the historical records of Jewish families, family trees of descendents of the 12 tribes of Israel. So no Jew today can prove he is a descendent of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In 130 A.D. Roman again sacked Jerusalem destroying the City and dispersing the Jews throughout their territories. Therefore the Essenes hid their valuable manuscripts in caves so the Romans would not find and destroy them. Why wouldn't the Christian have done the same thing?, especially since Jesus had told His followers to leave Jerusalem when they saw the Romans about to attack (history reports they did). For the crusaders in 1099 A.D. to find secret documents, in Jerusalem, a Muslin controlled city for over 400 years (670A.D.-1099 A.D.), which state, Mary Magdalene was pregnant with Jesus child, thus creating a bloodline, in which Jesus wanted to establish Goddess ruling over the Church, is another part of Brown's book that is hard to accept as factual.

What are the True Facts in the DaVinci Code?

The DaVinci Code has been sold to the public as based on facts. When in fact it is not based on actual facts at all. Brown opens his novel with the words "FACT in bold, capital letters and this statement:

"All descriptions of art work, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate."
First, he has the date, 1950, of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls wrong. Strange that he would mess up such an easy identifiable fact. The Dead Sea Scrolls were found over a period of time, between 1947-1956. The problem is most people are not able to distinguish or filter fact from fiction, and they will absorb as truth whatever someone else says is truth especially if it is in a book. Also, no manuscripts found in the dead Sea Scrolls repudiates any of the foundational Christian beliefs in the New Testament. Brown's book contains few historical facts and what few it does contain requires serious investigation. The problem is, the enemies of Christianity such as the Book Review Editor of the New York Daily News hail the book as based on impeccable facts. A huge lie. Brown has stated on televisions that he became a believer only after he tried to disprove the false theories his book is based on.(obviously a Madison Avenue sales technique to sell his novel). One must prove a theory before it becomes a fact. One cannot argue, here is my theory prove it wrong, but this is what Brown does with his unsubstantiated, false arguments.

Teabing, Brown's so called reputable Bible historian states: The Bible did not arrive by fax from Heaven…The Bible is a product of man, my dear. Not of God. The Bible did not fall magically
from the clouds. Man created it as a historical record of tumultuous times, and it evolved through countless translations, additions and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the book (page 203). Only heretics, apostates and non believers would ever accept this commentary created by Brown.

The Bible states: "All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God be perfect, thoroughly equipped unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation. For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but by holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21).

So here we have a direct attack against the word of God, by Brown. Where he totally contradicts scripture.

Also, there are not countless translations, but only two, one is God's word the other is not. See my paper on "Which Bible is the Word of God"?, for it clearly answers this question. However today we do have many paraphrased Bibles that are basically men's opinion of what the Bible says and teaches and they are all poor translations. I believe no serious seeker of God's truth would ever use one. We also have many dynamic equivalency Bibles that also wrongly miss interpret God's word, these I also believe should never be used by a serious seeker of God's word. The average Christian follows blindly and accepts whatever their Pastor and Ministers tells them. I know from personal experience because something is taught in a Christian seminary does not mean it is true. The average Christian seldom checks anything out like the Berean's did.

Brown continues with Teabing with more specific inaccurate claims as he states:

"Jesus Christ was a historical figure of staggering influence, perhaps the most enigmatic and inspirational leader the world has ever seen …Understandably, his life was recorded by thousands of followers across the land… More than eighty gospels were considered by the New testament, and yet only a relative few were chosen for inclusion-Mathew, Mark , Luke and John among them…The Bible, as we know it today, was collated by the pagan Roman emperor Constantine the Great" (page 231).

All this is a huge lie. Jesus as God should have been in his day a great figure but he was not accepted by any world leader as such. Therefore in his day he was not a historical figure of staggering influence. The historians of Jesus day wrote very little about him. He is only casually mentioned by few of them. Not one of them consider him to be important at all, for he was considered a criminal who died on a Roman cross. Only after Christianity became a force in world politics (313 A.D.) did Jesus become an important historical figure.

To state there were more than eighty gospels is unbelievable. For there is no record of eighty or more gospels. The relative few chosen are the ones know to be written before 70 A.D. Most all other so called Gospels came on the scene after the third century, and were not written by any original disciples of Jesus Christ. There was universal acceptance by the middle of the second century by the churches for the Bible as we have it today. All the other Gospels that supposedly have been written during the time of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all strongly disagree with them. Thus, they were thrown out by the original church fathers.

Constantine did not decide the books of the Bible

A major theist in Brown book is to declare and strongly imply that Constantine was behind the church canon, and he alone was responsible for destroying the Gospels he did not approve of, is a huge distortion of history. Constantine as the emperor of Roman was the head of all and every know religions in the Roman empire. Therefore, he did in fact convened the Council of Nicea, paid for the expenses of these who attended, and provide his summer lake palace for the site , but he exercised no ecclesiastical authority at all. This council overwhelming voted in the canonical books of the Bible we have to day, leaving out the Apocrypha books . The information on the Council is enlightening, but in no way supports the idea of a Roman Catholic Church take over of "early Christianity" or any conspiracy at this time in regards to this matter..

The Council of Nicea, which was called not only determined which canonical books should be followed and which books not to be followed, but also to deal with the heresy of Arianism (that Jesus was not equal with God and He never had a human body, but only a spiritual body). The total number of Bishops who attended this Council is not known; the number 220 -318 have been used. However, it is known that 18 Bishops at the Council did supported Arianism. It is also known that the Bishop of Roman and other western Bishops were not at this Council. It was mainly attended by the Eastern Bishops of the Church.

Gnosticism

How did Arianism start in the church! It stated with a man named Justin Martyr in Alexandria about 140 A.D., who introduced the heresy of combining pagan Greek Philosophy with the teaching of Christianity. He taught Tatian (120-180), who taught Clements (150-210 A.D.), who taught Origen (185-220). Origin said, "The scriptures have little use to those who understand them as they have been written." So he not only changed N.T. Scripture but also O.T. Scripture. Arius (256-230) was tremendously influenced by these men. All these men were Gnostics, living in Alexandria, who believed they had superior knowledge and the Christian scriptures should be combined with Greek philosophy, which in their belief was far superior. Therefore, it is no wonder why the Alexander manuscripts would be corrupted and added Gospels would be created by them. These men had not only tremendous influence over the Christian Church in Alexandria but also in Caesarea, Antioch and Asia Minor. However those in support of the corrupted Alexandrian Texts and Gospels will say that these Gnostics noted above were great men of God, another lie; for an honest evaluation of their lives and writings prove other wise.

Even after 325 A.D. Arianism would not go away. The Roman Catholic Church later would still
support it and Jerome also was tremendously influenced by Arius and Augustine. The Roman Catholic Church influenced by Paganism and Augustine's teachings would greatly support the Alexandrian manuscripts where the Orthodox Church would oppose them. Thus, the corruption of the scriptures came very early in church history, as predicted by our Lord (Matthew 13: 24-43, The Parables of the: Tares and Wheat, of the Mustard Seed and Of Leaven Bread).

The Roman Catholic church did not exist before the middle of the 5th century. Note: The Apocrypha books were left out as not being canonical at this council, however were added latter by the Roman Catholic Church at the Council of Trent 1595 A.D.

Adding gospels to confuse the reader

There might have been 50 false gospels written, most are known only by name from a few isolated statements by early church writers. The most significant ones are well known and the reasons they never were accepted by the majority of the church is well known and has never been kept secret by any hierarchy (read, "The Lost Books of the Bible" by Dr. Frank Crane). The main reason they were kept out was they did not support earliest writing but instead contradicted them.

Here Brown again tries to cast doubt on God's word.

If we say, Jesus not wanting to ride a donkey got into his car and drove to a gas station. We would clearly find fault with this story for it does not report accurately of anyone living in the first century. For example, in the Gospel of Ebionites we find John the Baptist eating only honey and not locusts. The Ebionites were not meat eaters, they were vegetarians. The Gospel of Peter laid blame for the crucifixion solely in the hands of the Jews, exonerating the Romans-an anti-Semitic stance that Brown considered tolerable, but the Bible does not support. Brown claimed and promotes these rejected gospels as being the true secret gospels, when in fact he offers no tangible proof for his claim. Because he says it, does not make it true.

Jesus had to be married according to Brown

Chapter 58, Teabing speaking again:

…Jesus as a married man makes infinitely more sense than our standard biblical view of Jesus as a bachelor…Because Jesus was a Jew…the social decorum during that time virtually forbid a Jewish man to be unmarried, According to Jewish custom, celibacy was condemned, and the obligation for a Jewish father was to find a suitable bride for his son. If Jesus was not married, at least one of the Bible's Gospels would have mentioned it and offered some explanation for His unnatural state of bachelorhood.

Because Brown strongly believes Jesus had to be married. Thus, He had to be married to Mary Magdalene. Brown is committing the classic fallacy of argument from silence - you cannot affirm something from the text when it doesn't deny it. It is true that Judaism taught that a man is not complete unless he was married, and to be a ruler or a rabbi in Judaism a man had to be married. However many Jews in scripture were never married, such as Daniel, Sampson, the prophets: Elijah, Jeremiah, Banus, and Boaz until he met Ruth very late in his life, and John the Baptist. Therefore to make a case that Jesus had to be married is not scriptural. There is no commandment in the 613 Mosaic Laws or the Ten Commandments, that states a man had to marry or else he had broken a commandment and thus was sinning.

The Gospel of Phillip

Teabing recommends the Gospel of Phillip as a good place to start. Brown quotes a portion of the text in which Jesus is said to often kissed Mary Magdalene, on the mouth and thereby invoked jealousy of Peter. He goes on to describe Mary as Jesus' companion and thus supposedly real troubling for Christians who support the Canonical Gospel views. However, Brown purposely forgets that reliable Scholarship has totally rejected this gospel as having any authentic historical reliable or contemporary source for the life of Jesus. It is not a first century document all. It is dated as a third century document, about 200 years after Jesus death. It is believed that it is a Gnostic text and some one as knowledgably as Brown makes his character Teabing out to be would have know this, for his associates would have laugh at him.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene

This gospel shows Jesus treating Mary as a companion, and depicts Peter's jealousy after Jesus gives Mary special instructions to carry out to run the church after His Crucifixion. Leading to the idea of Mary Magdalene as the female womb that carries Jesus royal blood line (page 248-249).
Teabing comments, "Jesus was them the original feminist. He intended for his church to be in the hands of Mary Magdalene. This gospel fares no better that Phillip's under critical analysis. It too, is a Gnostic document dated in the third century also. Brown wants desperately to rewrite history, claiming that goddess worship and Mary Magdalene's prominence was the original intend of Jesus', which early, evil, male dominated church fathers erased.

The Gospel of Judas as Seen on National Geographic TV Station 04/08/06

This Gospel which claims Judas was a good man and what was written about him in the Bible is false, the historians state this gospel was written in the third century by the Gnostics. Once again no serious scholar would ever consider this as any type of proof to discredit the Bible. So why put it on television? Because, bashing Christianity has become good business.

The Gnostics of Alexandria, believed they were people with higher knowledge, (the best educated according to man's laws and not God's laws) have given themselves a great pat on the back with their PhD's. They for the most part are so filled with pride they cannot see the trees from the forest. They think they know better than God, and they're the ones who will not accept God's word as true and thus, continually work to change it. The Gnostics of Alexander were deep into Greek philosophy , so they regularly changed the Old and New Testament scriptures to fit their beliefs. They created the corrupted Alexandrian manuscripts: the Codex Vaticanus B and Codex Sinaiticus Aleph which must all Bibles of today are based on except for the Received Text of the King James Bible versions. See my paper on "Which Bible is the Word of God."

Beware of men with degrees for they for the most part are heretics, that are helplessly lost. They are the ones who have given us over 50 different conflicting Bibles since 1901 A.D., which are not the word of God.

The DaVinci Code Conclusion

The Bible (God's Word) cannot win in The DaVinci Code, for Brown has stacked the deck against it in his book. Also, in Browns book Jesus is not God. If Brown believed Jesus was God, his theist: Jesus wanted women to control His church would never have been presented. The Bible from cover to cover speaks against women Goddess. Women Goddess is found only in man made pagan religions which the God of the Bible hates. Brown is just another agent of Satan trying his best to destroy Christianity, the Bible, and our Lord Jesus Christ as God, with falsified information, in which the average uniformed person easily buys into, especially women feminists and sadly many so-called Christians.

All Through the Bible God's Plan Put the Emphasis on Man

1. First created being Adam a man, and women created from man.
2. Noah, found to be without blemish and His sons and their wives repopulate the earth
3. The Abrahamic covenant through Abraham, and his sons, Isaac and Jacob-
the Jews became God's chosen people for redemption.
4. Moses the great Jewish Prophet sets the Jewish nation apart from the Gentile nations
5. The Jewish Messiah who is to come-Jesus First Coming, God in the form of man - the Gentiles grafted into God's plan of redemption.
6. The Anti-Christ, Satan's male offspring comes to destroy God's plan of redemption.
7. Jesus Second Coming, as the God Man, to set up God's Kingdom forever on Earth.

Men are to be the spiritual leader and women are to be man's help mate in God's plan of redemption. In God's plan women are co-equal with men, but never superior - they both have different roles to play in God's plan of redemption.
